How to get a fixed quote

- Something in shot to show the size

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Toilet chip repair in Alvaston without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Alvaston
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alvaston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Questions from Alvaston
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
